I am quite new to this software but I really love this.
Recently, we decided to use this but when we bought a domain name and a hosting plan, i tried to install and it kept denying and the massage is like this:
A database error has occurred: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)
Can anybody explain me and guide me how to solve the above problem?
Your hosting plan may not include a MySQL database, or it may not be in the expected location. Confirm with your host what the details of your MySQL database are.

Check your config.inc.php if you are using localhost or 127.0.0.1 as database URL.
Alternate between both to verify if connection works (localhost is socket connector but 127.0.0.1 is a TCP/IP connector, so just test it )
